It seems that my answer did not get through the list on sunday (at least, I haven't received it). So here it is again (sorry if it is a duplicate, but I have added some more comments).
That's a great initiative. We could learn a lot by sharing our techniques and experience each one of us has on CFMX. We have to choose a blueprint application type. As macromedia.com has already released its ColdFusionMX version of Petmarket, it might be interesting to propose our own, based on the methodology/framework we use. The advandatage of using Petmarket is that there is already all the requirements in terms of interface, design, functionalities and database. It would save a big amount of time. We would only have to focus on the architecture of the application. The other advantage is that Petmarket/Petstore is a typical application to compare frameworks and technologies. It could be nice to able to show the power of CFMX to our .NET/J2EE "collegues". Petmarket already includes some interesting requirements : - minimal content management (display of categorized products instead of articles), - search engine, - session management (with a cart mechanism), - flow process and forms (during check out process). Petmarket does not include some other typical requirements such as authentication mechanism. But we could add a small "Backoffice" area, to be able to add or remove products from the database. This would add : - authentication, - forms for data/items management. I propose to build one version of it, based on MVC with CFCs for the model layer. It would be nice if someone could build a Fusebox (3/4/MX?) Petmarket version, in order to be able to compare. What do you think of Petmarket as a blueprint application? Who else is interested?
